As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, the Austrian shipyard SILENT-YACHTS is leading the way with its groundbreaking innovation in the yachting industry. Set to make its grand debut at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival, the SILENT 62 3-Deck solar electric catamaran is set to revolutionize luxury yachting. Derived from the highly acclaimed SILENT 60 model, this flagship yacht features a fully equipped third deck, offering a unique and unparalleled experience for seafaring enthusiasts.
Unmatched Design and Engineering
Designed and engineered by Silent Yachts, the SILENT 62 3-Deck showcases a cutting-edge design that has been optimized through advanced CFD studies. Its distinctive features include a reverse bow, an extended waterline, and an increased window surface, all combining to create a visually stunning vessel. The yacht’s exterior design is further enhanced by a long window stripe along the hull’s sidewall, making it a true head-turner on the water.
Luxurious Space and Versatile Layouts
With three layout options available for the additional third deck, the SILENT 62 3-Deck provides an array of possibilities for customization. Whether it’s an open sky lounge, a closed sky lounge, or an exclusive owner’s suite, this yacht caters to individual preferences. The open sky lounge version, which will be showcased in Cannes, boasts a spacious 50m² fly deck complete with a bar, gallery, dining table, and ample seating. With accommodation across four exquisitely appointed staterooms and a well-equipped crew cabin, the yacht ensures comfort and luxury for all onboard.
A Green and Efficient Powerhouse
At the heart of the SILENT 62 3-Deck lies an eco-friendly powertrain that shares the same technology as its predecessor, the SILENT 60. Harnessing the power of 42 high-performance solar panels capable of producing up to 17 kWp, this self-sufficient yacht relies on silent electric propulsion for unlimited range. With no noise, fumes, or vibrations, the yacht utilizes an E-Power + drivetrain, featuring two 340 kW e-motors, a 150 kW diesel generator, and a 286 kWh water-cooled lithium battery. These innovations result in significantly lower operational costs compared to conventional motor yachts.
Boundless Exploration
Designed for extensive cruising, the SILENT 62 3-Deck demonstrates impressive capabilities, efficiently covering up to 100 miles per day powered solely by the sun. The yacht’s onboard arrangement ensures that all systems can operate without relying on the generator, which is only utilized to recharge batteries during exceptional circumstances. Moreover, with a shallow draft of just above one meter, this vessel can easily access shallow bays, making it ideal for exploring picturesque destinations like the Caribbean and South East Asia. Easy to handle with a crew of two, the SILENT 62 3-Deck offers ample space for families and crew alike.
Enhanced Experiences and Water Toy Adventures
The yacht’s versatility extends beyond its primary features. Equipped with a hydraulic stern platform that doubles as a swim platform, it can accommodate a tender of up to 4.2 meters in length. For a perfect match, the electric SILENT Tender 400 seamlessly fits onto the platform. Explorers and adventure seekers will appreciate the availability of additional water toys, such as kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and e-bikes, which can be conveniently stored in the bridge deck.
